North London rivals Tottenham have officially announced the signing of Arsenal target Clinton Njie from Lyon.

The Spurs made this announcement last weekend via the club’s official account on popular social media outlet Twitter.

Clinton Njie who was part of the Lyon team that featured in the 2015 Emirates Cup, has been the subject of a transfer battle between the two north London rivals.

However, the Spurs have now beaten the Gunners to the signature of the 21-year-old Cameroon international.

There have also been reports by popular French media outlet L’Equipe, that Arsenal did make a last ditch attempt to steal Njie’s signature.

Although Arsenal may have lost out in the signature of the high-rated winger, the Gunners are not however, short of options in that department with Alexis Sanchez, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Joel Campbell and Theo Walcott available at Wenger’s disposal.
